The second liquid applying device and the third liquid applying device press and laminate the two-layer fiber product and the single-layer fiber product together to form a three-layer fiber product with uniformly distributed liquids therein.

An intumescent mesh has a flexible grid with a plurality of strands that form a series of openings in the flexible grid, and an intumescent coating applied to the flexible grid. The intumescent coating is made of an expandable graphite and a polymer-based carrier as ingredients and having an activation temperature above which the intumescent coating swells. The grid is sized such that the intumescent coating permits airflow through the flexible grid until the intumescent coating is exposed to temperatures at or above the activation temperature, whereupon the intumescent coating swells to seal the openings and prevent air flow through the flexible grid.

Some implementations of the disclosure are directed to a method, comprising: receiving a sheet of graphite comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; and perforating the sheet in a first plurality of locations from the first surface through the second surface to form a first plurality of perforations through the sheet and a first plurality of protrusions of the graphite oriented outward from the second surface, the first plurality of protrusions configured to conduct heat away from a plane of the sheet. Further implementations comprise perforating the sheet in a second plurality of locations from the second surface through the first surface to form a second plurality of perforations through the sheet and a second plurality of protrusions of graphite material oriented outward from the first surface, wherein the second plurality of protrusions are configured to conduct heat away from the plane of the sheet.

According to one embodiment, a system for manufacturing a fully impregnated thermoplastic prepreg includes a mechanism for moving a fabric or mat and a drying mechanism that removes residual moisture from at least one surface of the fabric or mat. The system also includes a resin application mechanism that applies a reactive resin to the fabric or mat and a press mechanism that presses the coated fabric or mat to ensure that the resin fully saturates the fabric or mat. The system further includes a curing oven through which the coated fabric or mat is moved to polymerize the resin and thereby form a thermoplastic polymer so that upon exiting the oven, the fabric or mat is fully impregnated with the thermoplastic polymer. During at least a portion of the process, humidity in the vicinity of the coated fabric or mat is maintained at substantially zero.
